Married at First Sight Chapter 1613

Chapter 1613

Liberty found it hard to believe that Mrs. Lewis would coincidentally be near her rented home.

Clearly, Mrs. Lewis had come to meet her intentionally.

She glanced at her son, who was having a great time, before turning to Duncan and saying, “Mrs. Lewis, I’m outside right now. It will take me some time to return.”

“Oh, you’re out? Are you alone?” Mrs. Lewis inquired patiently.

She didn’t have Liberty’s number. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis had intentionally visited the All You Can Eat restaurant and noted Liberty’s number from the signboard.

“I’m on the third floor of Gloria Mall with my son. There’s an indoor playground, and Sonny is really enjoying it here. We ran into Mr. Lewis at the mall entrance, so he’s here too.”

When Mrs. Lewis realized her son had orchestrated the encounter to connect with Liberty, her expression darkened.

However, she didn’t direct her anger at Liberty. After taking a moment to compose herself, she said, “Liberty, since Duncan is there, he can watch over Sonny. We’ll… find a place to talk.”

This was her acknowledgment that her visit had a purpose.

Liberty did not refuse Mrs. Lewis.

After ending the call, Liberty said to Duncan, “Mr. Lewis, I have something to take care of, so I need to leave now. Please keep an eye on Sonny for me.”

Duncan already knew it was a call from his mother.

The upcoming meeting was sure to be uncomfortable.

“Liberty, let me go with you to meet my mom.”

“What about Sonny? He just got into the playground and hasn’t had enough fun yet. Hank wanted to play with him earlier but ended up ignoring him and leaving. He’s upset. If we take him away while he’s enjoying himself, he’ll be unhappy all night.”

Liberty could roughly guess the reason Mrs. Lewis wanted to talk.

she had been distant. Duncan wanted to accompany her, so she reluctantly used her son as an excuse. In that moment, Duncan felt conflicted. “Mr. Lewis, please do me this favor. I’ll be back very shortly,” Liberty said as she took her key to the e-bike, leaving before he could refuse. “Liberty,” Duncan called after her and hurried to catch up. “I don’t know why my mom is looking for you, but whatever she says doesn’t reflect my feelings. Don’t take it personally.”

Liberty smiled, “Mrs. Lewis probably just wants to have a meal with me.” Deep down, she understood that Mrs. Lewis intended to have a serious conversation. This realization made her aware that Mrs. Lewis struggled to accept her. Ironically, she hoped Mrs. Lewis would advise Duncan not to pursue her aggressively. She had come to terms with herself and was no longer interested in relationships.

Duncan watched helplessly as Liberty walked away, knowing he had to accompany Sonny. Once Liberty was out of sight, he immediately called his mother. Mrs. Lewis felt a twinge of guilt but answered nonetheless. “Mom, why are you meeting Liberty?” he asked.

“Oh, it’s nothing much. I happened to be near her place and felt like seeing her, so I invited her out for a meal. Why are you so anxious? Are you worried I’ll scare her off?”

Duncan didn’t buy his mother’s explanation. “Mom, please don’t say anything foolish in front of Liberty. I’ve put a lot of effort into winning her over. If you don’t want to help, that’s fine, but please don’t hinder me.”

Now, Duncan often found himself using Sonny as an excuse to stay close to Liberty and engage with her. Before he confessed his feelings, Liberty had treated him quite well. However, since she learned of Duncan’s affection for her, things had changed.

Although her treatment of him might seem unchanged, he could perceive that she was actually far more indifferent.
